Calgary bus driver will quit job if forced to take the wheel of rainbow Pride bus



This has been making headlines here for the last few days. Calgary Pride week is now underway, and Calgary Transit unveiled a rainbow coloured Pride bus to celebrate. A bus driver says he'd rather quit than drive it.

The driver's comments:

Today the bus driver now feels he's being personally targeted for his comments:

Calgary Pride has come along way, as its expected 60,000 will attend the Parade on Sunday. (a mere 5,000 people attended just 5 years ago.) The city itself also celebrated by installing its first ever rainbow crosswalks.

So what do you think. Do you think he should "suck it up" and just drive the bus or quit?

UPDATE: He's been FIRED! http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgar...ersy-1.3225224

UPDATE #2: You can now vote for him in next month's Canada election. http://calgary.ctvnews.ca/former-cal...tics-1.2581040

Inb4 the heterophobia on ATRL

Poor that. Hand in your resignation.

In Canada? Mess.
Let him resign if he wants to worry about the color of the bus he's driving.

do your job or gtfo

It's Calgary so not surprising.

Homosexuality isn't a "lifestyle" and I don't see anyone accusing all homophobes of personally hating homosexuals. How can you hate a person without knowing them? That doesn't even make sense.

That's his belief and if it means so much to him that he doesn't want to drive a rainbow bus, let him quit then.

Bye bitch.

Plenty of other people will do the job, girl bye

poor him. his loss.

Double standards?

then quit

Mess at him acting like he's so hard done by because he can't accept our "lifestyles". No one asked him to suck a dick, just to do his job.

Homosexual buses? What's next?

okay bye
